Nigel Farage has been writing column(专栏文章)s for the Daily Telegraph since 2016, most of which have promoted the previously Brexit and now Reform UK party he leads, or accused his rivals of going soft on immigration. For this privilege the paper’s cash-strapped(资金短缺的) bosses paid him around £4,000 a month, adding up to(总计达) nearly half a million pounds over the past decade.
奈杰尔·法拉奇自2016年起为《每日电讯报》撰写专栏，其中多数文章要么为他先前领导的脱欧党、如今领导的改革英国党造势，要么指责对手在移民问题上过于软弱。为了这份“特权”，这家资金紧张的报纸老板每月付给他约4000英镑，过去十年累计近50万英镑。
News broke this week that Farage’s services are no longer required(不再被需要) by the Telegraph’s new German owners, Axel Springer, though sources close to Farage say that he resigned(辞职). The paper is also reported to be negotiating(协商) the exit of Allison Pearson, who has been complimentary of far-right activist Tommy Robinson’s “rough-diamond charisma(粗犷钻石般的魅力)”, which together have prompted rumours that Springer has called a halt to the paper’s rightwards shift(右倾转向), calling it back to the basics of its Conservative party bible(保守党“圣经”) past.
本周有消息称，《每日电讯报》的新东家、德国施普林格集团不再需要法拉奇效力，不过接近法拉奇的消息人士称他是主动辞职。据报道，该报还在协商让艾莉森·皮尔逊离职，她曾称赞极右翼活动人士汤米·罗宾逊具有“粗犷钻石般的魅力”。这些变动共同引发猜测：施普林格已叫停该报的右倾转向，让其回归过去作为保守党“圣经”的本色。
All the attention so far has focused on the departure(离开) of these controversial(有争议的) columnists: subscribers(订阅者) have threatened to leave in posts on X, with mutterings(私下抱怨) about Springer’s pro-EU stance(亲欧盟立场) and the existence of its internal LGBTQ+ network.
迄今为止，所有注意力都集中在这些争议专栏作家的离开上：订阅者在X上发帖威胁要退订，私下抱怨施普林格的亲欧盟立场及其内部LGBTQ+网络的存在。
